13: Come What May
1. Interesting how human fingerprints and tree rings look so similar.
2. And that bullies spell bull and lies.
3. I got #2 from watching Severance, which is like Stepford Wives meets the Matrix or The Good Place gone wrong.
4. Break a leg or shake a leg?
5. “The Devil doesn’t need an advocate.” – My friend Warren on Facebook
6. “My striving after stillness was a noisy affair, I discovered. It seemed raucous and fitful and poorly planned. I could be wrong about stillness, though. If it isn’t fitfull after all, then the simpler conclusion might be that I’m just not very good at it. Trying to still your life is something between a pinky swear with whatever ordains you and an arm wrestle with your nature. That’s what I found.” – Stephen Jenkinson
7. Life etches itself / like tattoos I can’t hide / Truth is hard enough / Lies are insult to injury / Time’s sea level is rising / I’m preparing to drown / I’m preparing to love water / and to hold my breath / Life etches itself / where love collects – Read After Katherine’s Year of Haiku in its entirety HERE.
8. Haiku is like Chinese food, I’m hungry again an hour after reading it.
9. I think of April as a fling, whereas May could be the real thing.
10. When I was 13 my hair went white in a streak on one side of my head (segmental vitiligo). This is my new white streak.
11. Check out THIS Monkey Business.
12. We have A Little Monkey Business business in Floyd.
13. They Blinded Me with Science HERE.

Severance looks interesting, but I cancelled my Apple + subscription last year. I’ll pick it back up when Ted Lasso returns, so I think I’ll have to catch Severance then. Worth it?

Severance is mind blowing and ties up well while leaving room for more at the end of season 1.

I like your current white streak, Colleen. Very cute! Here, the stillness rests below the noise of traffic, the birds, windchimes, and all the leaves dancing with the wind. I like when we visit our friends in the countryside where I can hear the silence.
